The Banshee
Embracing Shadows: The Banshee's Cry of Survival
Lyrics
She said
Expressing a female speaker addressing someone.
Can you take me for a ride ?
Asking if the listener can take her on a journey.
It's a long way I know
Acknowledging that the journey is long.
But there's no hope or any signs
Noticing a lack of hope or signs along the way.
Nowhere I can go
Feeling lost with no clear direction.
So please take me home tonight
Requesting to be taken home due to the cold and darkness.
It's getting cold and dark
Describing the current weather conditions.
I'm feeling old and feeling sad
Expressing emotions of old age and sadness.
Dear raven
Addressing a raven as a symbolic figure.
Darkness came hunting down the light
Noting the arrival of darkness, symbolizing challenges.
Oh dear raven
Repeating the plea to the raven for assurance of survival.
Please tell me we will survive
Seeking reassurance from the raven amidst challenges.
Oh dear raven
Reiterating the presence of darkness and the need for survival.
Darkness came hunting down the light
Repeating the plea to the raven in the face of adversity.
Oh dear raven
Repeating the mention of the symbolic raven.
Oh dear raven
Emphasizing the importance of the raven in the narrative.
She said
Repeating the initial request for a ride.
Can you take me for a ride ?
Repeating the desire to be taken on a journey.
Was the pain worth it ?
Raising a question about the worth of endured pain.
The bruise remains so help me hide
Noting the lingering impact of bruises and seeking concealment.
I've got nowhere to go
Expressing a sense of nowhere to go.
So drive me home or kiss me now
Giving options of either being driven home or kissed.
There's not long left to go
Highlighting the limited time until a significant event.
Until we're even until we die
Connecting the concept of evenness to mortality.
Dear raven
Addressing the raven again in the context of darkness.
Darkness came hunting down the light
Repeating the theme of darkness encroaching on light.
Oh dear raven
Repeating the plea for assurance of survival from the raven.
Please tell me we will survive
Reiterating the request for confirmation of survival.
Oh dear raven
Repeating the acknowledgment of darkness and the need to survive.
Darkness came hunting down the light
Repeating the plea to the raven in the face of encroaching darkness.
Oh dear raven
Repeating the address to the symbolic raven.
Oh dear raven
Emphasizing the importance of the raven as a central figure.
